CURTAIN-RING.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 375,563, dated December 27, 1887.

Application filed October 24, 1887. Serial No. 253,232. (No model.) Patented in England June 25, 1887, No. 9.042; in Belgium July 29, 1887, No. 58,166 in France July 30,1887, No. 172,174; in Germany August 11, 1887, No. 8.833, and in Italy August To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, MARIAN NIXsoN, a subject of the Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, residing at Elm Lodge, Kings Road, Windsor, England, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Curtain-Rings, (for which I have obtained Letters Patent in England, No. 9,042, dated June 25, 1887; in France, No. 172,174, :0 dated July 30, 1887; in Belgium, No. 58,166, dated July 29, 1887; in Germany, No. 8,833,

dated August 11, '1887, and Italy, No. 98, dated August 1.2; 1887,) of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to improvements in curtain-rings, the object being to facilitate the hanging of curtains to pole-cornices.

This invention consists in forming the cornice-ring and hook from one piece of wire, said ring being soldered where one end of the wire and the wire itself meet, while the wire below the ring is formed into a hook, the front of the ring and the back of the hook forming a compound curve. For cloth curtains the hook may be pointed, while for muslin cur tains it may be left blunt.

tains it is only necessary to pass the hook through the material at the desired intervals.

If desirable, holes may be formed in the our- 0 tain and the edges strengthened by being button-hole stitched or eyeleted.

To hang the our- The invention will be readily understood by reference to the accompanying drawings, in which Figure I represents a detached ring and hook, and Fig. II a series of such mounted on a pole and a curtain hung thereon.

The ring A and hook B are formed from one piece of wire. The front of the ring and the back of the hook form a compound curve. The end of the wire constituting a portion of the ring is soldered to the wire just before it is formed into a hook.

Having thus particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said invention and in what manner it is to be used or carried into effect, I desire it to be understood that what I claim is- A cornice-ring, A, and a curtain-hook, 13, formed from a single piece of wire, the front of the ring and the back of the hook forming a compound curve, and the ring end of the wire being secured, by means of solder, to the wire just before it is formed into a hook, substantially as set forth.

MARIAN NIXsoN.
